2. I have a spreader what salt can I use?

This depends on the spreader. All our spreaders can be used with all our rock salts (white or brown) as well as granule and prills. Most spreaders will spread rock salt as long as it is dry. However please refer to your owners book for conformation.

 

3. Is there a diffrence in Rock Salt and de-icing salt

No. Rock salt and de-icing salt is the same product.

 

4. We require a cleaner alternative to Brown Rock Salt.

Brown rock salt contains impurities such as marl which gives it its characteristic brown colour which makes it a cost effective de-icing product. We alternatively offer white salt which is a purer and cleaner form of rock salt. Additionally we can offer granulated and liquid based products for de-icing

11. What salt does my local authority use?

Most councils use a form of brown rock salt for the highways.

 

12. How much salt do I need to de-ice an area?

This depends on many factors. Weather is important heavy frosts / snow require more salt, rain washes salt away and so would need re-treating. How the salt is spread is the most important factor. Typically 15g per m2 is adequate. However this is only achieved with a calibrated spreader. Spreading by hand will use more salt.

Salt will keep indefinitely if stored correctly. Sunlight may cause the bag to perish. It is best stored in a dry place away from sunlight.
